Better than Bailey’s…

Bailey’s is a drink I never ceased to love. It’s like eating chocolate, but better… It’s creamy, strong, best drunk cold, on ice… Pure happiness in a bottle. But recently my first love got competition. My new discovery reminds me of Bailey’s but it has a certain finesse, a special flavour that makes it even better: Amarula Cream

This cream liqueur originates from South Africa and is made with sugar, cream and the fruit of the Marula tree, also called the Elephant Tree. This is due to the fact that Elephants (and many other animals) love getting drunk on the overripe, fermented fruits of the Marula tree. I can’t blame them!!! What that looks like, can be seen on many a YouTube video like this one:

And here is more info on the making of Marula Cream:

So, if you haven’t done so already, give it a try and let me know what you think.
